Hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better. Music has always been a significant part of my life, starting from my upbringing in Cagliari, Italy. I began by studying classical guitar and later delved into jazz guitar through private lessons, sparking my love for modern genres like jazz, blues, soul, and rock. I have extensive experience performing at various private events including weddings, corporate parties, and birthday celebrations. I take pleasure in the flexibility and creativity of working with a wide range of musical styles, including soul, Motown, funk, pop, R&B, and rock. When I cover songs, I always strive to add my personal touch, whether it's through creating an acoustic fingerstyle arrangement or improvising on the electric guitar for a popular R&B track. I've been fortunate to collaborate with talented musicians and perform at well-known venues and events such as The Barbican, Tobacco Dock, The Shard, The Rosewood Hotel, The Glasshouse in Newcastle, City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds, and Corinthia London. One of my favourite things to play are instrumental arrangements of Soul/RnB songs. You can learn more about this by checking out my videos. I've performed lo-fi/neo-soul versions of songs like "Human Nature" and "Let's Stay Together" at wedding ceremonies and receptions. Having an electric guitarist play at a wedding ceremony may seem unconventional, but if you're seeking something unique, I'd be delighted to bring my vibe to you and your guests. 📼🎵🎸

Filippo was such a stand out feature of my wedding. Couldn't be happier. We had him play soul classics on electric guitar during our wedding and canapés. Best decision I ever made. All of our guests were thoroughly entertained and commented on his skill and style. Super happy to have had him play for us. He set such a vibe for a our wedding. Thank you so much Filippo!

Thank you so much Filippo! The set you played at our wedding reception on June 1 2024 was perfect - upbeat, cool and chilled. Lots of guest commented on how much they liked your sound. Also, thank you for playing to Texas Sun for our first dance, it made the whole thing extra special 🤗

The evening was perfect: great music, fab atmosphere and the dropouts were just great. Our customers really liked them and I can't wait to have them back in a few months. Kudos to them!

Our company event went seamlessly: employees had a great time at the rhythm and sound of the dropouts, going from 1960s classics to 1980s rock and straight into 1990s britpop and more. Would definitely recommend: they got everyone to sing along and everyone just chilled the whole night. Will book again as soon as we can. Jay

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try to be flexible to help ensure your event runs smoothly. If timings change slightly during the event run-up, just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely and I offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 45 minutes to 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my equipment is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I craft the setlist based on what works best for your event, however, I am happy to chat through what songs you like the most.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to discuss this with you. I offer up to 3 songs of your choice for free and I will need at least 40 days notice.
